Quote: "The hedge fund manager (Ray Dalio) said on Jan. 23 in an interview with CNBC that investors will see "a market blowoff" rally fueled by a flood of cash. "If you're holding cash, you're going to feel pretty stupid," he said.
Dalio founded Bridgewater Associates in 1975. The hedge fund now manages about $160 billion, according to its website. Bridgewater also has the biggest cumulative net profit for a hedge fund firm ever, according to data from LCH Investments. From inception to 2017, Dalio's firm posted a nearly $50 billion gain for its investors, the data showed.

BRIDGEWATER vs. DAX: DAY TO COVER RATIO ON DAX -0.76% HEAVY WEIGHTED STOCKS (average 30 days) :
Deutsche Telekom AG: 1,93 Days to cover SAP SE: 2,05 Days to cover DEUTSCHE BANK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT: 2,07 Days to cover Deutsche Post AG: 3,6 (!) Days to cover Fresenius: SE & Co. KGaA: 2,06 Days to cover Siemens: 2,01 Days to cover Allianz SE: 1,9 Days to cover Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft in München: 2,07 Days to cover adidas AG: 1,49 Days to cover BASF SE: 2,75 Days to cover Bayer Aktiengesellschaft: 2,34 Days to cover E ON SE: 1,18 Days to cover Daimler AG: 1,11 Days to cover
To compare this to other net short positons: TESLA is shorted by 18 % of all stocks - but the day to cover ratio of this huge positons is actually just in a range between 2 to maximum 6 tradingdays (!). nasdaq.com/symbol/tsla/short-interest
If ever BRIDGEWATER is wrong about this idea to short the DAX than Europes Bellwether will raise dramatically. BRIDGEWATER is not only shorting the DAX -0.76% . BRIDGEWATER is shorting also Italien Banks by 3 Billion Euro 0.00% . BRIDGEWATER is the largest hedgefonds in the world. "Bridgewater manages about $150 billion in global investments for approximately 350 of the largest and most sophisticated institutional clients." Source: bridgewater.com/
If BRIDGEWATER is shorting the DAX and same time "the largest and most sophisticated institutional clients" having long positions in the DAX there are just two options:
a): BRIDGEWATER is bedding against own clients b): Clients following Bridgewater and this could be close to manipulating the market.

It's Dalio Versus Everyone Else as Money Flows to Europe
I’m surprised. That’s a big bet. Dalio and his team are very confident,” said Rick Herman, managing director of asset allocation who helps oversee about $30 billion at BB&T Institutional Investment Advisors Inc. “That’s definitely out of consensus. European stocks are cheaper, and they also have stronger earnings growth.” bloombergquint.com/markets/2018/02/26/it-s-dalio-versus-everyone-else-as-money-flows-to-europe-stocks
